Controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has been ordered to pay close to $10 million in a civil lawsuit for allegedly hitting a dancer with a bottle back in 2021.
On Tuesday (November 21), it was reported that the 27-year-old artist is being held responsible for hitting a dancer named Alexis Salaberrios in the head with a champagne bottle.
Judge Robert T. Watson signed off on a judgement ordering 6ix9ine to pay Salaberrios $9,825,000. The judgement came after the disgraced rapper failed to show up to court to contest judgment, which was initially handed down on November 15. Tekashi now has 10 days to disclose all his financial records to Salaberrios.
Alexis, a dancer at the Gold Rush Cabaret in Miami, sued 6ix9ine in February of 2021. She claimed the rapper hit her with a bottle, which resulted in her receiving a severe head wound.
Last month, 6ix9ine was freed from jail on $500,000 bail stemming from his alleged involvement in an assault of two men in the Dominican Republic.
